I wonder what cultural icons most Brits have bought with them to France? Well my son is in the process of teaching all his friends in Maternelle about The Wombles.
During their outings to the park, forest etc all the children are taught to have a respect for the countryside and its animal inhabitants and that includes not dropping litter. My son is now very keen on playing spot the litter and thanks to a DVD that my Mum sent over from the UK he thinks that the Wombles are needed over here.
After a visit to a local charity shop Grandma has managed to procure one of these elusive creatures and my son is taking him to school after the hols. Apparently all his copaines et copines remain a little confused. Can't imagine why. All descriptions of exactly what a Womble is, en Francais, would be very welcome!

Wombling facts from: http://www.toonhound.com/wombles.htm
The Wombles first emerged from their burrow on Wimbledon Common in 1968. These litter-loving little folk were created by author Elisabeth Beresford who was inspired whilst walking on the common with her young children, Kate and Marcus. One joyful mispronunciation later (Wombledon Common) and we had Great Uncle Bulgaria and his young charges Orinoco, Tomsk, Bungo, and Wellington and his not-so-young associates Madame Cholet and Tobermory. The Wombles scour the common looking for litter to recycle into very useful things and generally cleaning up the mess that we mucky humans always leave behind us. FilmFair's stop-motion series reached our screens in 1973. It featured fabulous puppet designs from Ivor Wood, cockle-warming narration from Bernard Cribbins and a totally-hummable title track from Mike Batt. Orinoco quickly emerged as the star Womble, with his ceaseless appetite for cakes and sandwiches and forty winks. Wombling can be such hard work, you know...
